The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 772: Meteorite?

Approaching closely, they saw that the mouth of the cave was indeed very large, covering a range of several hundred square meters, as big as an acre of land.

Billowing thick smoke rose to the sky, but no one dared to get close, stopping their steps more than a hundred meters away.

Ling Feng took a look and turned to Yu Nan, "This place shouldn’t be an ancient tomb, should it?"

"With such a large area, it’s definitely not." Yu Nan shook his head, glancing at the surrounding terrain, "And the layout of the land isn’t for burying the dead either, the feng shui is all wrong!"

"So that smoke might not be what you mentioned, it just looks similar in color, that’s all!" Ling Feng said.

Yu Nan nodded, "There’s that possibility!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Sun Hao, "Fatty, catch a wild animal and test it, then we’ll know!"

"Okay!"

Sun Hao nodded, his body bounced like a ball, and whoosh, he dashed into the distant woods!

Zhang He watched, dumbstruck, muttering to himself, "Damn, this kid moves really swiftly!"

"Heh, he’s my brother after all!"

Ling Feng said with a face full of pride.

In fact, he was also surprised that Sun Hao could move so agilely; it seemed the kid had made considerable progress in his cultivation lately, probably reaching the mid-stage of Qi Force now.

A moment later, Sun Hao burst out of the woods, holding a frantically kicking wild rabbit, grinning, "Got lucky! The rabbit probably got scared witless, stuck its head into a bush with its butt facing out, didn’t dare to move an inch!"

"Hold your breath and throw the wild rabbit over, let’s test it." Yu Nan said.

"Right on!"

Sun Hao responded, and then, holding the wild rabbit, he rushed toward the mouth of the cave.

He rose and dropped, reaching the cave mouth instantly, placed the rabbit down and quickly returned, the whole process taking only about two seconds.

Ling Feng and the others didn’t watch him; their eyes were all fixed on the rabbit.

The result was surprising; although the black and yellow thick smoke billowed from the mouth of the cave and some naturally dispersed around the entrance, the rabbit, which surely breathed it in, showed no reaction, instead it started grazing on some wild grass nearby!

"Uh..."

Seeing this, Yu Nan felt a bit embarrassed and looked back at Ling Feng, "It seems there’s no poison."

"Well, that’s a relief!"

Ling Feng nodded and drew the God Slayer Saber, striding towards the cave.

The four of them approached slowly, and the rabbit darted into the bushes to escape, while Sun Hao sniffed, "What’s this smell?"

"Uh, it’s weird, kind of familiar. Where have I smelled this before?" Yu Nan looked puzzled.

Ling Feng also felt it strange; the smell was weird, as if it were a mix of several odors, so it wasn’t easy to identify right away.

At that moment, Sun Hao suddenly said in a daze, "Old Yu, doesn’t it smell like that time I grilled meat for you, and it ended up burnt?"

"You’re right, it does!"

Ling Feng glared at the two and thought to himself, what a pair of foodies, always thinking about eating!

A giant pit emitting a smell like burnt meat?

How much meat would need to be burnt to create such an effect?

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Ling Feng pondered for a moment and turned to the three beside him, "What do you think caused this situation?"

"What else could cause it? Of course, it’s like a volcanic eruption, coming out from underground!" Zhang He said.

Ling Feng looked at him, "Really? But look around, where are the erupted soil and rocks?"

"Huh?"

Zhang He turned his head in surprise and looked around, but indeed saw nothing.

If something had suddenly burst from underground, then the surroundings would definitely be full of broken rocks and dirt!

After a moment of shock, Zhang He turned to Ling Feng, "What do you mean by that, could this have been caused by a Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens?"

"I think it’s highly possible!"

Ling Feng nodded and pointed toward the edge of the crater, "Look at this angle; it’s sloping towards the bottom of the pit. It really looks like something smashed down here!"

"You might be on to something!"

Zhang He nodded, looked up at the sky, and said somewhat puzzledly, "But for a pit this big, how huge must the meteorite have been that fell down?"

"Who knows, once the smoke clears, we’ll be able to see what’s down there!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.

Zhang He and the others looked at him, "So we’re just going to wait here?"

"What else can we do? With all this smoke, we can’t go down without seeing what’s going on!" Ling Feng retorted.

"What if it keeps on smoking like this, are we just going to do nothing today and just wait here?" Zhang He continued to ask.

Ling Feng: "..."

At this moment, the ringtone of his phone sounded. Ling Feng uttered a surprised "huh," thinking to himself that there was a signal even in this remote mountain area?

He took out his phone and saw that the signal was weak, with only two bars. It was Chen Ping who was calling, and he quickly answered, "Chief Chen, are you looking for me?"

"How’s the situation over there?" Chen Ping asked.

"We suspect it’s a meteorite that has fallen and hit the ground, but the smoke is too thick to see clearly whether it is or not," Ling Feng reported.

"Understood. I’ll be on the plane right away and arrive in a few minutes!"

After uttering these words, Chen Ping hung up the phone!

Ling Feng stood there, stunned, then turned to Zhang He, "Damn, does our sub-bureau actually have a helicopter?"

Zhang He rolled his eyes, "I’m not from your sub-bureau; how would I know?"

"Forget I said anything!"

Ling Feng glared at him and said irritably.

A few minutes later, a roar of propellers suddenly came from the sky, growing louder as it approached.

Ling Feng and the others saw a black dot flying towards them, and soon it became clear that it was indeed a small helicopter coming their way!

Seeing the helicopter, Ling Feng’s heart stirred, and he immediately said with a smile, "Now we’ve got a way!"

He quickly took out his phone and dialed Chen Ping’s number.

But the call was rejected!

Zhang He looked at him, "With all that noise on the helicopter, do you think if you got through he could hear you talk?"

"True, I didn’t think that through." Ling Feng said, looking disappointed as he watched the helicopter overhead, circling in the air, apparently searching for a place to land.

In this valley, there was hardly any suitable place, but the helicopter pilot seemed skilled and daring. After only one circuit, they began a slow descent!

Ling Feng glanced over there and saw a patch of bare grassland that was only two or three square meters and exclaimed with admiration, "Wow, that’s some skill, daring to land in such a small spot?"

"You’re underestimating the strength of our military forces. A real ace pilot can land on a large rock!" Zhang He bragged cockily.

Ling Feng ignored him and quickly rushed towards the helicopter’s landing spot.

As soon as Chen Ping jumped out of the helicopter, the wind from the propellers blew him about unsteadily. Seeing Ling Feng approach, he thought he had come to meet him, only to realize Ling Feng didn’t pay him any attention and instead headed straight for the helicopter!

"Damn, kid, what are you trying to do?" Chen Ping cursed out loud, but the noise from the propellers was so loud, he could barely hear his own words.
